Command to import files with binary header.

John B. Matthews — Sat, 17 May 2008 05:44:06 -0000

Oliver Schmidt with the <a href="http://www.cc65.org">cc65</a> project requests via email:

"...to add a feature ... to the AppleCommander command line interface to interpret the first two bytes of a binary file as start address, ignore the second two bytes and process the rest as usual ... for both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS 8 images."

I propose adding the following command: -cc65 <destname> <type> <imagename>, that writes stdin to destname with the given type onto imagename and assumes a four-byte, little-endian header specifying start address in the first two bytes. The length would still be determined by the length of the input stream. The command should work for any cross-assembler or cross-compiler with such a header.

Unable to import binary files in a "raw" format

Robert Greene — Sat, 31 Jan 2004 22:24:50 -0000

From email:

I'm using the CC65 cross-compiler to generate Apple ][
binaries under windows and then I move them to disk
image via a2tools. When I found AppleCommander I
wanted to switch over to it so I could use something
with a GUI.

The problem I'm having is that when I import my binary,
I can't seem to have AC import it "raw", i.e. when it
imports it as binary, it looks like it is prepending
the binary offset/length at the start. Unfortunately,
CC65 has already added this header, so you can see what
nastiness happens when you go
to BRUN.

File preview

Glenn Jones — Tue, 04 Mar 2003 03:48:38 -0000

Rob File previewing capabilities would be a nice addon.
Printing as well, perhaps from the export screen/wizard.

Add support for UniDOS disk images

Robert Greene — Sat, 14 Dec 2002 06:01:36 -0000

Add support for 800K UniDOS disk images.

Change disk format.

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:59:39 -0000

This would be useful if a particular emulator doesn't
support the format.

Create disk image.

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:59:10 -0000

This would include the boot sector (something nice
about AppleCommander).

Import files

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:58:04 -0000

Allow files to be imported.

Add drag and drop capabilities

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:49:57 -0000

Drag and drop would be useful once AppleCommander
allows reading and writing a disk image. This could be
for opening an image or importing/exporting files or
moving files among disk images or to different locations
on the same disk image (ie, ProDOS directories).

Provide a command-line interface

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:47:13 -0000

Provide a command-line interface, which would allow
AppleCommander to run automated. This may be useful
for cateloging disks or doing mass imports.

Provide a Swing GUI

Robert Greene — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 17:46:01 -0000

Provide a Swing-base GUI for those environments that
do not support SWT, or for those who cannot or do not
want to locate the appropriate SWT code.
